To restate a point I've made earlier, if a bunch of separate people are telling you you're coming off as an asshole, and you're really not intending to, perhaps it's time to reconsider the tone your posts are actually conveying? Noted. For serious. TheBigBoy was just recounting their personal exper...

That's what I got from your comment, a bunch of "you're wrong!"s :lol: A bunch of the emotions he's describing in that post ("it felt to me like no one else in the while wide world knew about this except me!") are actually rooted at the heart of a LOT of still glaring misconceptions and incorrect a...

The dude's reminiscing on his experiences and feelings from long ago, why are you picking on him, Kunzait_83?

I'm... not?

You mainly miss being a kid. Almost everybody does, it's cool. As I've been hammering on for quite some time now on here: the whole "I miss being a kid" thing is something that's become, broadly and pop culturally at this point, WAY too overwrought and pushed WAY too far into ludicrous extremes by ...

You seem to throw out a lot of strawman arguments - acknowledging something that is blatantly related to identity politics as such is in no way homophobia. We are talking about retconning an established character for the sake of pandering. Why is that so hard to understand? At this point, someone n...

It didn't really get going until the '90s with the likes of Swat Kats, Sonic SatAM, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, and whatnot. Anime was growing fairly large during this time as well, so it's not like there was no awareness of Macross, Speed Racer, or The Rose of Versailles. But at the ti...

Considering what we know about both characters (Vegeta and Bulma) up to the point in the series where they originally hooked up (early Jinzoningen arc) and the circumstances surrounding it - Vegeta training like a madman for the forthcoming fight against Gero's creations at Capsule Corp while Bulma ...

I don't ever make memes. Memes are mostly dumb.

But for this place, I made an exception.

I'm not happy but I'm not upset either. Pretty much exactly this. I'm certainly not offended by Super's existence (unlike Heroes, Episode of Bardock, and Minus, which are all godawful mistakes that never should've come into being) but I also am not in any way moved by it in the slightest and its th...

Dragon Ball should be public domain. This way anyone can create the works they like based off of it to fulfill their creative desires. Or, wild idea... people can maybe instead just create something that's wholly original and totally their own and maybe (god for-fucking-bid) add something that's ge...

honestly i think this is the much bigger and more prominent issue within a lot of anime fandoms and stuff. like most everyone has said, there's nothing really inherently wrong with finding drawings attractive or whatever, and well there are for sure people who do take it too far, i really think it ...

Just gotta make sure people in the eye-are-ells still do it for you, though. I don't think there's anything pathological or problematic at all unless you're uninterested in real life people. Pretty much this. Finding a cartoon drawing of a woman sexually attractive is just... whatever. Who cares? M...

Gundam Wing didn't deal with politics with any degree of depth or sophistication. It's biggest statement on the matter is "peace good, war bad." "War sucks" is pretty much THE predominant and defining theme/sentiment of Gundam as a franchise (or at least its ostensibly supposed to be : it kinda fal...

No one? What is this then? NSFW warning. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5exqMCUa-dk/T97qfYwNteI/AAAAAAAAAC4/zR_UaZfX2lg/w506-h750/154591-0ninjascroll15.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1pGtXcfmabs/TJU921zYf9I/AAAAAAAAAKk/KSV-dsUA_00/s1600/NS1+kagero+upside-down.jpg http://blog.alltheanime.com/wp-c...

This post is one of the worst posts I've ever seen on this site. How did it cause anime to be only kid stuff in the west when Adult Swim aired all that adult stuff before there was even a Toonami revival? Adult Swim's level and degree of "mature content" is... HIGHLY questionable much of the time. ...

I just don’t see why one would need to assume that someone else is exclusively watching children’s entertainment to begin with. Because its been a long, ever-present, and persistent recurring issue within the bulk of this forum community for as long as I've been involved with it (so for at least th...

Oh, I don't know. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:...

I have a hard time believing the industry moved away from more adult material and put all its focus on what you deem to be tripe. My guess is more mature material got as much focus as it got before. That guess would be VERY much stone cold factually incorrect. The disparity in the level of general ...

Not stepping into the massive wall of a discussion about whether or not liking Toonami as an adult is okay or not

This is a fairly reductive spin on what was being said in the first place.

What is your perception of US anime fandom based on? Not starting anything, just wondering. 15+ years of near-constant engagement with it's current post-Cartoon Network incarnation on a fairly broad-ranging level (across a vast litany of online communities, both major and minor), contrasted against...
